I Have Learned to Wait

I Have Learned to Wait

I have learned to wait in traffic jams without cursing.

I have learned to wait for the boss to come without sweating.

I have learned to wait for the light to change without tapping.

I have learned to wait for the pizza man without drooling.

I have learned to wait in the airport security line without complaining.

The Race

It’s 2 p.m. in the fitness center —

Empty as a beggar’s cup on Soi Langsuan.

The rat race continues in the tall buildings that encroach the green.

The winners are scheduled to show up at six.

OK, maybe seven.
